Fix
Fix JSON Invalid Unicode / Control Character Error
Control characters (U+0000–U+001F) inside JSON strings must be escaped. Smart quotes and non-breaking spaces from word processors also cause failures.
Unescaped Control Characters
Raw newlines, tabs, and backspaces inside strings must be \n, \t, \b. Use JSON.stringify() to auto-escape.
Smart Quotes
Word processors produce curly quotes (\u201C \u201D) instead of straight quotes ("). Replace with standard ASCII double quotes.
Non-Breaking Spaces
U+00A0 looks like a regular space but breaks JSON parsers. Find and replace with U+0020.
